Because this thread has heightened my sensitivies for such things, I've been listening more closely. Example: yesterday I was listening to the Pogues, with himself singing "Rainey Night in Soho." There is a line in that song that I just really heard for the first time, and I don't understand it. The line is "Woke up in the morning - ginger girl by the bed." My question is what is meant by "ginger girl?" Because "ginger girl" is BY the bed, as opposed to IN the bed, I presume it is not a companionable female. But what? - maybe an empty booze bottle? That would might be understandable, sadly, if Shane wrote the lyrics. Can anybody elucidate and educate?
